[Chorus]

We should've left this world alone

Wish we went left and took a wrong turn

We should've left this world alone

We should've left and took a wrong turn

We should've left this world alone

Wish we went left and took a wrong turn

We should've left this world alone

Wishing we left and took a wrong turn

We should've left and took a wrong turn

We should've left this world alone

We should've left this world alone


[Intro:]

We ain't have no business

Pretеnding like this could've existеd

Pretending like you one my bitches

Before it started it was over

But I still proceeded forward

And my people looking at me

My, my people looking at me

They watching like "this nigga is tripping"

I had a photo album full of your pictures

Was it drugs, or was I just in my feelings?

I was, deep in emotion

High doses of oxytocin

You'll never notice the surface

Beneath it I'm Scorpio-in

I'm stroking your bitch and your bitch

Your bitch, your bitch and your bitch

Shooting shots like Stojaković

She respond and it's over with

Gambling with no poker chips

Scrambling like Mahomes and shit

Whamming it off the backboard

I'm slamming my own assist

I, I needed her right now, I needed her right now

The arrival of my child

I'll eventually pipe down

But I still needed affection

In the eyes of my beloved, I see a reflection

Heartbreak after heartbreak

Shit kept going left

Like I needed directions

Is monogamy for the broke?

Is misogyny just a joke?

If I tweet these words it's a note

But if it's in a rap, it's a quote

I'm the GOAT


[Chorus]

We should've left this world alone

Wish we went left and took a wrong turn

We should've left this world alone

We should have left and took a wrong turn

We should've left this world alone

Wishing we left and took the wrong turn

We should've left this world alone

Wish I'd have left this world alone


[Verse: 2]

We should've left that night

And not accept demise

But I accept responsibility

For my crimes

And I salute the couples that can be two

Celebrities in the same house

Without causing too much embarrassment

Ain't no keeping no secrets

My nigga, this ain't the seventies

Everything is on the internet

Honesty is everything

Honestly I tell my woman everything

Everything?

Shit probably too much

I wallowed in lust

The hollowest clubs

The treacherous streets

The models I fucked

I bottled it up

Like fuck tomorrow

Cuz tomorrows not a topic to me

See she gonna follow, I'mma follow

Gassing up at the BP

Hit the throttle, semi auto on me while I'm on P street

On the mean streets, she a neat freak

In the sheet sheets we don't get sleep

Well if you're single is it a sneak?

Is it a link?

Is it a creep?

I'm in Aventura, words to Ace Ventura

You gon' vent to her

I'm gon' raise her temperature

Off the deep end till the ship sink

Then it's sinking

Gotta let the dream in


[Chorus]

We should've left this world alone

Wish we went left and took the wrong turn

We should've left this world alone

We should've left and took a wrong turn

We should've left this world alone

Wish we went left and took the wrong turn

We should've left this world alone

Wishing we left and took a wrong turn

We should've left this world alone

We should've left this world alone
